Centraview

[edit]

Advertisement, no notability established, relatively unwikified, etc. The usual. :-( Delete. S.K. 18:04, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Needs rewrite. --Sleepyhead81 12:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keepand clean-up. I think it was written by a CentraView fan rather than being straight-out advertising. DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:13, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: A clean might make it salvagable, but I'm not sure. The article seems to have c&p from the company's website, so it's fairly unimaginative puffery. I couldn't find evidence that the corporation is really that significant, but a neutral write up would help determine its worth. Geogre 20:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP. The leader in the hosted accounting software (ASP) arena is NetSuite. I have been researching others and could not find significant alternatives, until somebody mentioned to me Centraview, which states it is open source. Open source or not, I believe hosted accounting software systems are important and will become even more important with time, and I think Wikipedia users should know there is another alternative to NetSuite.--AAAAA 03:15, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I want to add that I view Wikipedia as a structured source of information. I would like to let other users search for ASP Accounting Systems and quickly see what are the alternatives. If you go to google and search for the same, you get a lot of useless links, mostly advertisements about stuff you don't need.--AAAAA 03:30, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Reads like a press release, or something made out of bits and pieces of them ("fairly unimaginative puffery"). -- Cyrius|✎ 06:28, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • So, if you don't like how it is written, CHANGE IT, don't destroy.--AAAAA 03:23, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Why should I have to do the work you're not willing to do? Part of gardening is removing the weeds. So too with bad Wikipedia articles. -- Cyrius|✎ 19:47, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Why do you put "words in my mouth"? When did I say (or write) that I was not "willing to do" the work necessary to clean the article up? Although sometimes I cannot work on something immediately, I usually do it with time.--AAAAA 06:17, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per AAAAA's evidence of notability, and help him/her to clean it up. Kappa 19:11, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Writer needs to attend to all points mentioned here. As stated above - part of gardening is pulling the weeds. This would seem to be competition for NetSuite, but in open source. Needs to be there but edited. Andrewspencer 07:48, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, this article appears to be slapped together from the pages of centraview's own website. If it wasn't for the fact that some parts (very small parts I might add) of it have been changed this should have been nominated as a copyvio and deleted. This is plain advertising.
